The house blends into nature and is run on environmentally friendly sustainable energy – solar power. Water is pure from the mountain rains. Organic vegetables and fruit are grown on site.

 

     

   

 

Each bedroom is separately positioned, opening to a central lounge. The house is surrounded by the fruit garden then forest eucalypts and sub-tropical rainforest. There is a Meditation and Yoga room in the tropical garden.

It is silent. Perfect for meditation. You will not see another soul apart from those here.

OBLIGATIONS TO STAY

 

YOGA, FITNESS, MEDITATION and MUSIC

The Rainbow ashram is in a beautiful quiet place for meditation and reflection; though music is encouraged that is in harmony with the ideals of the organisation. There will be live meditational music nights called Kirtan followed by Satsangs (divine discussions on spiritual truth) – bring an instrument. Some retreats are shamanic, Tantric and naturist, enquire if interested in these retreats.

Meditation and Yoga are practiced here with a daily schedule; guests and residents are required to attend starting 5 am – dawn and dusk is the best time of day according to the ancient sutras. It is not necessary to have had previous experience in meditation or yoga - this will be taught.

Depending on the retreat there will also be an intensive fitness program associated with the yoga classes. This may include extensive outdoor fitness pursuits - bush walking, jogging, swimming, rock climbing, kayaking, surfing, caving, scuba diving, sky diving, yachting, etc. Participation will be optional and charges may apply. There is a kayak course on the Nymboida river. Mountain bike track and trail running next door. Pilgrimage Tours to holy lands will be available soon.

More sedate retreats are available for those wishing to relax and go deep within.

 

Unfortunately, there is no mobile reception, and please don’t bring a computer, laptop or tablet. Your retreat is designed to have a break from these devices. To go deep inside yourself without distractions. If you plan to do business away from the office here, better to rethink your plans and why you wish to come here (exception for activists involved with WNA projects).
